Default Upgraded the gauge cluster - Need odometer adjusted

A while back, (like over a year ago)... I had swapped out the basic gauge cluster with the worthless idiot lights... to the one with all of the gauges in my '99.
It works great...

Now I know it's a 22 year old jeep and what I'm asking is really a "first world problem"... lol.. but it kinda bugs me...so if there's an inexpensive way to fix it I'd like to.
My XJ truly only has about 109k original on the clock... and every day I stare at an odometer reading 248k.... I kept record of mileage when I did the swap so no big deal... but if anyone knows of a fairly reasonably priced solution to get it reset to the actual mileage I'd be up for doing it. I've read that it can be done on these.

When I was first researching the swap I read that the newer digital odometers could be reprogrammed at a Bodyshop. Might be worth calling a few.

thanks, I'll check into those... I also found that they do in fact sell the device that does it...but for a one-off reset (and never use it again most likely)...the cost was just too steep.

For now at least... anyone that has had a need to look at the OD in it has always said wow... I've never seen one of these with 250k look in this good of condition. lol.
